Sitting on a surfboard and pivoting is one of the first things you’ll need to master when learning how to surf. It requires balance and practice. Surfers sit down on their boards to wait for the waves. The technique has many advantages. For example, it allows you to keep an eye on the best sets from a higher perspective. If you’re simply laid prone on a surfboard waiting for the action, you’ll lose a lot of precious swell information. Sitting on the board will also enable you to turn the board faster toward the beach when you decide to catch a wave.
